Dustin, Hesh, and myself CRAWLED out of North Carolina, exit by exit. Took 2 days to get from Salisbury to Greensboro, 3 days from Greensboro to Durham, and another three days just to get OUT to Durham into South Hill, VA.

Fuck a mess of that noise. Shoulda just taken a train. Don't know why we didn't.

Spent two days this winter walking down the I40 in oklahoma without getting picked up once, even the cops didn't stop for us. On the third day we tried the "we won't kill you sign" and made it a wopping 20 miles!

Got stuck in Bakersfield for two days, pretty much had to walk out of it. No one wanted to pick us up and my road dog didn't want to get on a train. It was fucking miserable.

Livingpastense · Oct 19, 2009

surprisingly klamath falls OR well didnt take as long as some we gave up after 4 hours. but still this was OR! we woulda hopped out but there were no trains where we were trying to go.

Washington State, headed east on Highway 2... took me and my friend 4 days to get from Monroe, Washington to Spokane, Washington.

took me 3 days I think to hitch 30 miles..would have walked but the person I was with at the time waz lazy..thats why I travel alone mostly now

Avoid this exit just east of Billings, MT. I was stuck here for a day and a half back in September before I decided to walk back into town on an access road that parallels the highway.

I was in eastern Tennessee headed west a few weeks ago and found it to be pretty slow moving.

Been on that exit twice, the truckers aren't friendly at that Flying J so both times I just walked a mile to the next on-ramp that curves to the left (if your going to Wyoming) and waited multiple hours both times. Would've just caught out of Laurel if it wasn't for the fact that I needed to get to South Dakota. Actually that area between Billings and Rapid City sucks in general for hitching.

Oh yeah, I split off with Steve-O there and he got picked up by a couple natives who took him on the Res and pulled a knife on him.

i love hitching
the worst was two person ...male alone..touch and go
female and male - your alreadt there
male and male -it hails
we walked from athens ga to madison ga...when we tried to hitch we got pulled by 5 cop cars!!!!
who told us theyd arrest us if they saw us hitching
we finaly got a ride from this off duty cop who got into a fight with his wife and wanted to go on a drinking binge in a trailer way out in the woods...so we spent the drinking beer , fideling with guns and watching kids movies
we got dropped off at a truck stop that night..while it's raining..davos idea..no ride
finaly said fuck it
hitched back to atlanta..got there by 10am

i'm used to walking 10 miles in a day and not getting picked up...it doesint bother me to much
because everything evens out

For some reason I couldn't catch up with any southbound trains in Laurel, which is why I ended up hitching out of there and landing on that worthless exit! As for the area between Billings and Rapid City, I'd more or less have to agree, though I did score a dream ride all the way home to Omaha from a trucker in Gillette, WY.

I've never really trolled truck stops for rides; always have hung out on the ramp. What do y'all usually do when seeking rides at a truck stop? Fly a sign with your destination? Strike up conversations with random truckers? That Flying J you're talking about gave me the boot for simply sitting on the grass eating my lunch. The guy was polite about it, but it kinda caught me off guard as I wasn't really actively soliciting rides or begging for food/money at all.

Baltimore by the shittiest 95 onramp ever, near the TA next to travel plaza, for 11 hours is my record worst.

By the way, Loess how/where are you?

smellyskelly · Dec 4, 2009
